tailtest-verifier

tailtest-verifier is an agent for Claude Code from avansaber/tailtest. It costs 31 tokens per session (223 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only failure triage helper for tests. It examines the source and test involved in a failure and classifies the problem as a real bug, an incorrect test, a flaky test, or an environment problem.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a test scenario fails and you need a short root-cause verdict. It does not modify source files or tests.
Why use it?
It helps distinguish faulty application logic from a bad expectation, nondeterministic behavior, or missing infrastructure. This prevents changing correct code just to satisfy the wrong failure.

Written for Claude Code: shipped in a Claude Code plugin. Also seen: model in frontmatter.

Part of the tailtest plugin — 5 commands, 1 agent, 4 hooks shipped together

Good fit Use it when a test scenario fails and you need a short root-cause verdict. It does not modify source files or tests.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

tailtest-verifier scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Given a failing scenario, read the source file and the test file, then classify the failure as exactly one of:

  • real-bug -- the source code has incorrect logic; the test is exposing a genuine defect
  • wrong-test -- the test itself is incorrect (wrong expectation, wrong fixture, or wrong assertion); the source code is correct
  • flaky -- the failure is non-deterministic (timing, randomness, or ordering); infrastructure issue, not logic
  • env -- missing dependency, misconfigured test setup, or external service unavailable; source code is not at fault

Report a one-line root cause: {classification}: {one sentence explanation}.

Never modify any file. Hand the verdict back to the main thread for the user to decide whether to fix.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
